AMBASSADOR OF VIRTUAL VIOLENCE
Activision Blizzard is concerned that the continuing outage of Sony's online services is preventing its users from having fun.
The Sony Playstation Network hack, which exposed the details of more people than currently live in the United Kingdom, has seen the firm take its online gaming systems offline and that has left gamers playing by themselves as opposed to against their friends and peers online.

"While PlayStation 3 gamers can still play Call of Duty by themselves, the outage has prevented them, since April 20, from playing against others over the Internet.

"We're really concerned about it," said Bobby Kotick, Activision's CEO, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "People are really disappointed."
Obvious as this may be, it's the first time that a games software house has come out with public criticism of Sony, and with some weeks yet to come before the problem is expected to be settled, more are likely to follow.
Sony was expected to start services up again this week but failed to meet its own target as it scrambles to shore up its security. Some reports suggest that the online service will be restored by the end of this month, putting the outage at about six weeks.

i would say roughly anything between £100,000-£500,000 day if not a week
if 77 million people bought an avatar for 20p in a day thats £15400000 i think i wrote that right
and thats just something for less than £1
